Vibrant, growing downtown restaurant seeks a motivated, ambitious chef de cuisine to manage kitchen operations, lead team of cooks and execute service.
Who we are: An independent, chef-owned and driven, ascending restaurant. We cook casual, approachable food using quality, hyper-local ingredients. We live to cook and create experiences for our guests. We love our regulars and know them by name. We collaborate with our peer restaurants quite a bit, and aim to contribute to the growth of Roanoke hospitality however we can. We take what we do extremely seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. Our brunch is incredible. We believe cooking is love, and we love what we do. By this description, it may be painfully obvious who we are but we'd like to keep this search for the right person to join us as low key as we can.

You are looking to go places in your career as a chef and make a mark. You're team oriented and positive. You’re a hustler. You're looking for a leadership position at a restaurant you believe in and on a team you can grow with. You're looking to shoot your shot.
